I love the stark elegance of calla lilies, the graceful way in which their ivory flowers curl and their stems droop slightly. Here’s an Asian-inspired arrangement I dreamed a few months back.

And here’s the same vase, radically different flowers. I love the bold vermillion color of the flowers, their vibrant green leaves, and their graceful height. So zen!

Here’s a beautiful bouquet we snapped in the lobby of the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver. It’s scale and grandeur were truly majestic, on a scale that can’t be matched on our little condo stand!
